Legal Proceedings
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are currently involved in, and may in the future be involved in, legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations in the ordinary course of business. These include proceedings, claims, and investigations relating to commercial and contractual disputes, intellectual property, employment matters, and tax and other regulatory matters.
| ● | In June 2022, a dispute originated due to a contractual arrangement involving alleged unpaid service fees of approximately $28,000, as well as additional disputed amounts, and counterclaims asserted by the Company for damages arising from website-related issues. A default judgment of approximately $28,000 was entered against the Company in January 2025. The Company is currently challenging the judgment and has initiated a new action reasserting its claims. |
| ● | On March 20, 2024, a former temporary worker engaged through a third-party placement agency, who was never an employee of the Company, filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the Company. The Company disputed this claim, and the matter was settled in February 2026 for $16,000. |
| ● | In June 2021, a vendor filed a lawsuit against Bailey related to a retail store lease in the amount of $1,500,000. The Company is disputing the claim for damages and the matter is ongoing. The vendor has recently updated the claim to now be $450,968 after signing a long-term lease with another brand for this location. The Company is disputing this new amount after review of the lease. In the summer of 2024, Century City Mall, LLC obtained a judgment against Bailey 44, LLC in the amount of approximately $1.4 million, inclusive of both damages for unpaid rent and attorney fees and costs. This amount is included within the liabilities of Bailey 44, LLC in these accompanying financial statements. In this action, Century City Mall is attempting to hold Digital liable for the judgment against Bailey 44 on the theory that Digital is Bailey 44’s “alter ego.” The case is set for trial on July 21, 2026. The Company is unable to weigh in on the likely outcome of the case but will vigorously defend. |
All claims above, to the extent management believes it will be liable, have been included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2026.
Depending on the nature of the proceeding, claim, or investigation, we may be subject to monetary damage awards, fines, penalties, or injunctive orders. Furthermore, the outcome of these matters could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. The outcomes of legal proceedings, claims, and government investigations are inherently unpredictable and subject to significant judgment to determine the likelihood and amount of loss related to such matters. While it is not possible to determine the outcomes, we believe based on our current knowledge that the resolution of all such pending matters will not, either individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition.
Except as may be set forth above the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings, and the Company is not aware of any claims or actions pending or threatened against us. In the future, the Company might from time to time become involved in litigation relating to claims arising from its ordinary course of business, the resolution of which the Company does not anticipate would have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
